Abstract
CELL DIVISION CYCLE 5 (CDC5) is a R2R3-type MYB transcription factor, serving as a key component of modifier of snc1, 4-associated complex/NineTeen complex, which is associated with plant immunity, RNA splicing, and miRNA biogenesis. In this study, we demonstrate that mutation of CDC5 accelerates flowering in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). CDC5 activates the expression of FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) by binding to and affecting the enrichment of RNA polymerase II on FLC chromatin. Moreover, genetic analysis confirmed that CDC5 regulates flowering in an FLC-dependent manner. Furthermore, we characterized the interaction of CDC5 with the RNA polymerase-associated factor 1 (Paf1) complex and confirmed that CDC5, as part of the spliceosome, mediates genome-wide alternative splicing, as revealed by RNA-seq. CDC5 affected the splicing of flowering-associated genes such as FLC, SEF, and MAFs. Additionally, we also demonstrated that CDC5 contributes to the regulation of histone modification of FLC chromatin, which further promotes FLC expression. In summary, our results establish CDC5 as a key factor regulating flowering. This provides valuable insight for future research into plant flowering.
